Super Cool Nike Football Commercial (2010-1-29)

Keeping on the shoe front, check out this very latest  commercial for Nike football boots. Its different from other football commercials which can be very cheesey. It uses a great music track,  has a clever cameo appearance by another famous footballer doing the ‘mixing’ and of course stars my favourite footballer :)

Emporio Armani x Reebok Shoes (2010-1-26)

This is one of the first shoes out from the Emporio Armani-Reebok partnership and its called the ‘Mega Chic’. Hate  the name but love the look of the shoes. Its basically a classic Armani leather shoe that has a sporty touch with the special Reebok DMX heel and sole. I could see this going well with a [...]

Song of the Week #2 (2010-1-25)

This week’s song is a duet by a group called Bens Brother (who you probably haven’t heard of) and Anastacia (who you most probably have heard of !). The start of the song sung by the lead singer of Bens Brother is quite nice but when Anastacia comes on she really steals the show. What [...]

It’s Finally Here ! (2010-1-24)

I was really pleased to see that Ref Cliff is finally being shown at the cinema here. The movie came out ages ago in China (in two separate parts) and I saw it in London in the Summer. There are two reasons why you should watch this film in the cinema. 1- Its in Chinese [...]

Song of The Week (2010-1-16)

Something new for the blog for 2010. As music is one of the things I enjoy most, every week I’m going to post my song of the week. Just really sharing one of the songs that I am listening to at the moment. The song of the week this week is ‘Get You’ by James [...]

Never Miss A Goal Again ! (2010-1-13)

With all the football on at different times and on different satellite networks, chances are that you are going to miss a game which you wanted to watch. Even after the game ends, its always a pain to try to find the goals on You Tube. Goalstube.com is the best website to catch every goal [...]

A Couple of Starbucks Tips (2010-1-12)

I am a regular Starbucks customer. I’ve probably tried everything on the food menu but unlike most people when it comes to coffee I only order the Coffee of The Day. Call me a traditionalist but to me Mocha’s,Lattes and worst of all Caramel or Toffee-nut lattes/macchiatos are just not coffees. You can’t even taste [...]

The A-Team Movie (2010-1-11)

One of the major films coming out in 2010 is the movie version of the greatest 80s TV show, The A-Team and now the trailer has finally been released. Personally speaking I have my doubts that the movie will capture the spirit of the 80s show, for example UFC fighter Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson certainly looks like the original [...]

UK TV Commercial of The Year 2009 (2010-1-10)

This hilarious commercial from Cadbury’s Chocolate  has been voted the best loved TV commercial in the UK  from 2009. I have got to say its full marks for originality and the choice of music is perfect.  I’ve watched it a half dozen times and laugh every time. Enjoy !

Book Sale (2010-1-9)

   Al- Manara Bookshop, one of the first and best book stores in Kuwait, have got a great sale on at the moment. ALL their books are 1/2 price !! And before you start thinking that they’re going to be old books from years ago (as I did when I heard about the sale), a lot of [...]
